COOKING STOVE AND RANGE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 284,795, dated September 11, 1883.

Application filed May 17, 1888. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern: I

Be it known that I, NOAH SJARNOLD, of the city and county of San Francisco, in the State of California, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cooking Stoves and Ranges, of which the following is a specification.

My invention consists in the combination, with the doors of a cooking stove or range, of a grate in the hearth and a detachable cover for this grate, the cover, when placed on the open doors, forming an auxiliary chamber (for broiling, roasting, and the like) communicating with the firebox. The object of my invention is tocause the smoke and odor to enter and pass off through the stove or range.

In the accompanying drawings, which illustrate so much of a cooking-stove as is deemed necessary to show my improvements as embodied in the best way now known to me, Figure 1 is a perspectiveview of the front of a cookingstove with the doors closed and the hearth-plate in place. Fig. 2 is a sectional View, showing the grate located in the hearth, the hearth-plate being removed; and Fig. 3 is a front elevation, showing the hearth-plate placed on the open doors to form the boilingchamber.

A grate, A, is located in the hearth B, and preferably in such relation to the fire-box that live coals from the fire can be readily transferred to it when desired. The doors 0 O are arranged in the usual way. The hearth B is made box shape, the box part I) being deep enough to receive the grateA and allow room for an ash-pit below it. Openings I) admit air for a draft. That part b of the hearth immediately over the box part b is a detachable plate, and forms, when in its place on the hearth, a cover for the box part b and the grate A within it. lVhen the plate I; is removed and the doors 0 0 opened to about right angles with the front of the stove, the plate 12 can be placed on top of the open doors, as shown in Fig. 3, thereby forming a chamber communicating with the fire-box and smoke-flue, and having the grate A for its bottom. Goals from the fire may be raked down onto the grate A, and the gridiron, griddle, or'other utensil inserted in the chamber over the coals. It will readily be seen how a draft must be created through the chamber and effectually carry off all smoke and odor arisingfrom anything being cooked therein.

I claim as my invention In combination with the doors of a stove or range, the hearth B, grate A, and detachable plate b, adapted to be placed upon the open doors and form therewith a chamber communicating with the fire-bOX,-substantially as and for the purposes set forth.
